Pre-Arrange Your Funeral

Are you thinking about pre-planning your funeral? Pre-planning is the best way to choose how you're remembered, to ease the emotional and financial burden on your loved ones, to protect yourself from rising funeral costs, and to let your family know your final wishes.

Order Flowers

Ordering flowers from our site ensures that your order will reach us or the family in a timely manner, and your gesture of support will remain acknowledged in the Book of Memories™ for future generations. We only work with local florists so we can maintain the sense of urgency and quality of your selections. We thank you for helping to support the family during their time of need, and will fondly remember your kind gesture.

Order Tribute Gifts

We respect the sensitivity and dignity that comes with ordering tribute gifts from the funeral home. It is for this reason that we have attempted to design our online Sympathy Store with the utmost respect to the family and the deceased. We hope you find this service helpful during your time of need and would welcome any comments or suggestions you might have to help us serve our communities better.

So so sorry to hear of Kendra's passing. It has been awhile since I saw or heard anything of the family but I remember her as a loving daughter and mother. I can't imagine how much she will be missed by all her family and friends but my prayers are that God's grace and blessings will comfort you with good memories and bring you peace and acceptance.

Oh Piglet, I’ve missed you so. I’m so sorry that I was not there for you over the past few years. You were always so good to check on me to see how I was doing. I was never as good at that as you were. Your last words to me were “Love u”, and that was on your birthday. You were always so good to think about others, even on your day. You will be truly missed. I will never forget about the good times that we shared...you, me, and Bee, your laugh, and your kindness. Farewell my friend, until we meet again!

I have known Kendra since she was a little girl. As we grew older together, she became a close friend to me. She was always kind no matter what was going on. She was always good for a laugh, and she always found ways to make me smile. She will be greatly missed as she touched every person she encountered. She loved her husband greatly, and her children were her world. I send all my love to her family and our friends during this time and moments ahead.

Forever Remembered, Forever Missed !
We share in this time of grief but also share in the love and memories of a young lady who shared a special place in my life and heart for 16 years; a beautiful young lady named Kendra.
Kendra will always be within your heart and the many others that loved her and as close as a beautiful memory away.
My thoughts and prayers are with her girls , husband , parents , other family and friends during this difficult time.
Today and always, may loving memories bring you peace, comfort, and strength.
Keeping you close in heart and prayer for the loss of your beloved "Kendra".
May loving memories ease your loss and bring you comfort.
Saying goodbye to someone we love is heartbreaking. May you find comfort in all the special memories you have shared over the few short years this light was able to shine in our lives.
Words cannot express my sadness. May your faith in God help you through this difficult time.
May there be comfort in knowing that someone so special will never be forgotten.
With love and remembrance.
May He who knows your sorrow bring peace, comfort, and healing to your soul.
Words seem inadequate to express the sorrow felt by the loss of Kendra, as I know my heart will never be quite the same. My prayers are with each and every one of you.
Someone as special as Kendra will never be forgotten. She will remain in our hearts forever!
